This means that six executives have left the council, including Elon Musk of Tesla and Bob Iger of Disney, who both left in response to Trump withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement. Also pictured is Kenneth Frazier (R) CEO of Merck & Company.

"I'd guess that they hoped their departures wouldn't garner as much attention later at night, and it's commonly witnessed on social media that backlash is greatest for the first deviation away from the expected".

SpaceX founder Elon Musk and Disney CEO Robert Iger bowed out of their respective positions when Trump said he would pull the USA out of the Paris climate agreement.

A White House official downplayed the importance of the manufacturing council and a separate policy and strategy forum featuring corporate leaders.

"Our country's strength stems from its diversity and the contributions made by men and women of different faiths, races, sexual orientations and political beliefs", Frazier said in a statement.
